use /dev/psaux in your XF86Config or make /dev/mouse a symlink to it: ln -sf /dev/psaux /dev/mouse you can double check what we say by issuing dmesg | less and seeing a line (around the 15th) which says: PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed. (or "dmesg | grep aux" if you are lazy). Cheers Bob -- Robert J.
